Explanation | Making wise choices

 LI: To structure and write an explanation

Why is it important to make wise choices?

Have you ever thought about taking drugs or drinking alcohol or has someone ever forced you or wanted

you to do it?  Some of the major reasons people take drugs is to try to fit in or to feel cool or they go through

peer pressure and end up using drugs, Peer pressure, being pressured by a friend or peer to do something that

you know that is unwise and can have a bad impact on you.

People who take drugs such as Crack, Weed, or  Cocaine use it to feel happy or as a stress reliever to help

forget about something bad that they have experienced but sadly the effects of these drugs do not last very

long so as a result people become addicted and are focused on getting more to feed there hunger in other

words drugs become there number one priority. When people get addicted they will do anything to feed

there hunger. They are tempted to steal money if they run out of it or they will work for people and in return

they get what they want but the consequences are not ideal.

Making a wrong decision doesn't necessarily mean that you are a bad person but is about who you should

start focus on becoming. Taking drugs can also affect your mindset/ way you think can lead to depression

or start to feel anxiety but if younger pupils start to take drugs the side effects could be more harmful the

addiction could be enhanced or feel stronger but younger pupils can also say no and can try avoid these

unwise choices knowing the bad impacts that they can have on there mental and physical health. 

This week for writing we wrote explanations about making wise choices about taking drugs and alcohol and the side effects and consequences of these actions I chose this topic becuase I can use the information gathered from our DARE program. I have learnt the drugs can be a dangerous substance that can be very addictive that can harm our physical and mental body that can effect others that are around us.

Coloborative explanation

How do you feel knowing that each year, over 1 million sea animals lose their lives from plastic waste? This is caused by the laziness of people who can't be bothered to throw their rubbish in the bin. When you litter, your rubbish leads to landfills, drains, and possibly to the ocean. 

Everyday approximately 8 million pieces of trash lead to the ocean. As the waste leads to the ocean it can attract the sea animals by mistaking it for food. The sea creatures can die by being suffocated from the plastic and can also be caught in the plastic. The plastic makes them have digestive problems and can cause them to die. According to National Geographic, by 2050 there will be 12 billion metric tonnes of plastic landfills. Right now there might be 5.25 trillion macro and microplastic in our ocean right now. Chlorinated plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then leak into groundwater or other surrounding water sources. This can cause a range of potentially harmful effects on the species that drink the water.
